FILE LIST<br />
---------<br />
<br />
readme.txt This file.<br />
prime95.exe The windows program to trial factor and primality test Mersenne numbers.<br />
mprime The Linux program to trial factor and primality test Mersenne numbers.<br />
libgmp* A library containing the GNU multi-precision math package.<br />
libhwloc* A library containing routines to analyze your hardware (cores, cache sizes, etc.)<br />
libcurl* A library containing routines to send and receive internet messages.<br />
libcrypto*, libssl* Libraries required by libcurl.<br />
On some OSes you may need to copy libraries to the system library directory.<br />

WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM?<br />
---------------------<br />
<br />
This program is used to find Mersenne Prime numbers. See<br />
https://primes.utm.edu/mersenne/index.html for a good<br />
description of Mersenne primes. Mersenne numbers can be proved<br />
composite (not prime) by either finding a factor or by running<br />
a PRP (PRobable Prime) or Lucas-Lehmer primality test.<br />
